Redesdale Estate

'The timeless hills around the Campaspe River Valley and Lake Eppalock make a lovely backdrop to this gem of a property. Wine quality is outstanding, as is the estate's fine olive oil. Self-catering accommodation is available in the beautifully appointed Auberge de la Rose, and the gardens - part of the Open Garden Scheme - follow a Mediterranean theme. Now the nearby Redesdale pub is under the same ownership, offering a cellar door and the best of fresh local and seasonal produce in a carefully restored and renovated Victorian-era hotel.' Ralph Kyte-Powell

Owners of Redesdale Estate, Peter and Suzanne Williams, recently purchased The Redesdale and are well underway with expanding and restoring the charming bluestone buildings and grounds. Including outdoor dining areas, café, wine bar, cellar door, a petanque piste and on-site two bedroom accommodation suite, The Redesdale has unofficially been coined a heritage site and still offers country pub hospitality, patronised by locals and visitors alike.

With superb service, regional foods are served with stylish professionalism. The menu delights, with everything made in-house using local produce and local wine. Mediterranean style bruschetta, locally grown wine grapes and house-made biscuits are just some of the seasonal favourites.

The Redesdale boasts a regional wine list run with flair and expertise by their Restaurant and Beverage Manager. Redesdale Estate's own grown olive oil and cellar door wines (including old vintages), are available at The Redesdale.

The Redesdale is located only an hour from Melbourne and five minutes by car from the Redesdale Estate vineyard. Redesdale is a quiet and charmingly bewitching town - blink and you'll miss it! Peter and Suzanne's offerings to the region are limitless, with further accommodation available on their vineyard.
